How did the author reconfirm his swimming skills ?
Dear Student,
The story 'Deep Water' is an excerpt taken from the author's autobiography Of Men and Mountains. In this story, he tells the reader about his fear of water and how with sheer determination and courage he managed to overcome it. Having faced a near-death experience in a swimming pool as a young boy, it was natural for the narrator to harbour a fear of swimming in his subconscious mind. Despite all this, he had a desire to learn swimming, so he hired an instructor who ensured that William knew swimming well enough to be able to swim in huge lakes and waterfalls. He faced his challenges head-on and was able to overcome them.
Regards
